Chapter 379 "The Divine Sword of Salvation"
On the top of Nantai Mountain, as Aize's calm words rang out and reached Guinevere's ears, the air suddenly became extremely silent.
"What did you say?"
Guinevere doubted her ears and what she heard.
"I'm telling you, I know where the king you've been looking for is." Aize looked at Guinevere and said with a half-smile, "Why? Don't you believe it?"
"...No, since it was said by the God-killing King, it must not be a lie used to deceive others, right?" Guinevere took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in her heart, looked at Aize with burning eyes, and said: "Please tell Guinevere where my lord is."
That being said, Guinevere didn't think that Aize would tell her where the Last King was.
There is no other reason for the other party to do this.
What's the difference between revealing to her the location of the strongest steel that carries the destiny of killing the Demon King and defeating the God Slayer and actively awakening the Last King?
Does the other party have a reason to do this?
Obviously not.
But Guinevere still wanted to take a gamble.
What if?
What if the other party just wants to awaken the legendary hero to fight the last king?
If these godslayers who treat gods as prey and fighting as entertainment are the ones who can do such a thing, right?
Guinevere also knew something about the new king in front of her. He killed several gods in succession within less than a month after becoming king. After becoming king, he had been actively looking for gods, opponents, and powerful enemies.
As such, perhaps he would take the initiative to reveal the location of the Last King because he wants to fight him?
Guinevere asked this question with this thought in mind.
In this regard, Aize really explained it.
"About 1,500 years ago, the Last King was resurrected in order to annihilate the God Slayers that existed at the time, and he completed this mission very smoothly."
Throughout history, the Last King has been resurrected many times and fought to the death with the contemporary God Slayers. In the end, with the ability of the Strongest Steel and the assistance of the Covenant Law, he annihilated the God Slayers time and time again.
Otherwise, why would Vauban be the oldest godslayer?
Could it be that in the era before Vauban, for thousands and tens of thousands of years, no godslayers were born?
Of course not.
In almost every era, there are humans who successfully kill gods and become godslayers. The only difference is the number.
In this day and age, there are exactly seven godslayers, which is actually a lot.
In the past, there were eras where only four or five God Slayers were born, and in other eras there were even only two or three. The appearance of seven God Slayers in the same era could be considered an epidemic.
So, where have all the past God Slayers gone?
Did he die of old age?
Not really.
It can be seen from the years of existence of Wobang and Luo Hao that, even if the lifespan of the God Slayers is not as long as that of the sky, it is still much longer than that of humans. Witches can rely on their consummate spell power to maintain their appearance and stay young. The God Slayers can also rely on their super strong spell power and special physique to prolong their lifespan. Living for hundreds of years is definitely not a problem.
If there were special means or special powers, the godslayer could even survive for thousands of years, and it would not be impossible to achieve another kind of immortality.
It is basically difficult for such a god-killer to die a natural death.
Therefore, if a God Slayer dies, it is basically because he died in battle.
Among these godslayers who died in battle, only a small number died in battles with other disobedient gods, while most of them were killed by the awakened Last King.
Whenever multiple godslayers appear on earth and cause a certain degree of unrest, the Last King will wake up from his slumber, follow the will of heaven, and go to attack the other side. After the attack, he will continue to sleep and wait for the next awakening.
"At that time, after completing his mission as usual, he fell into a deep sleep in the form of a divine sword on a nearby island."
As soon as Aize finished speaking, Guinevere immediately asked anxiously.
"Where is that island?"
Hearing this, Aize gave the answer very straightforwardly.
"Right here in this country, on the Boso Peninsula in Tokyo Bay."
Before Guinevere could respond, Aize spoke again in a low voice.
"Unfortunately, His appearance has become an extremely difficult problem for some of the ancient sages of this country."
"With the heroic god Susanoo at the center, the old people who have been silently protecting this country in the underworld regard the Last King as a dangerous existence."
"So, they joined hands to hide the location of this foreign god who had wandered from a foreign country and would cause a devastating blow to this country once he woke up."
Once the Last King awakens, not only will the world fall into a doomsday situation, but the essence of the earth will also be continuously absorbed by him and transformed into his power.
If the Last King awakens in this country, the country will be almost destroyed, if not destroyed immediately.
Therefore, the inhabitants of the netherworld separated the island where the Last King was sleeping and hid it where no one could find it.
Then, in order to prevent the Dragon Snake Godhead from irritating the strongest Steel Hero, they planned to transform the Steel of Disobedience into a Sword to Protect the Nation, so that the Monkey King Sun Wukong could be bound to this land and fight against the Dragon Snake.
This is the reason why Bimawen's curse appeared, and it is also the biggest secret hidden in this country.
"Is that so?"
Guinevere murmured in a somewhat agitated and dazed manner.
“No wonder… No wonder my Lord has been sleeping for thousands of years without appearing, leading to the proliferation of God Slayers on earth to such an extent.”
Guinevere had long suspected that the king she was loyal to was hidden by someone, and that something seemed to have gone wrong, which caused him to sleep for so long.
If there were no problems for the heroes who defeated the Demon King, then how could it be possible for such a ridiculous thing as seven Demon Kings competing on the same stage?
So many God Slayers were born in the same era, which had already met the conditions for awakening the hero.
But the Last King has not awakened or appeared yet, and there is not even a trace of him. This makes Guinevere wonder if there is something wrong with the king she is loyal to.
So she searched hard for her king, and has been looking for him until now.
Now, she finally came into contact with the truth.
"Sure enough, my Lord is in this country." Guinevere smiled, and her gaze towards Aize became even more scorching. She said, "Please tell me, Your Excellency, how can Guinevere find my Lord?"
Facing Guinevere's question, Aize also smiled.
"Find Him?" Aize said, "Forget it, you won't be able to find Him."
"Can't find it?" Guinevere asked anxiously, "Why?"
"Because there is no need." Aize smiled and said, "That brave man is no longer here."
Not here...anymore?
What does this mean?
This question had just arisen in Guinevere's mind, but the scene that appeared the next moment completely stunned her.
“Zheng…”
This is the glory of platinum.
This is the glory of salvation.
When Aize stretched out his hand, grasped a weapon that appeared out of thin air, such a light emanated from his body.
The weapon is actually a knife.
A divine sword with a blade about 100 centimeters long, a thick double-edged blade and a structure similar to that of a hatchet, shining with a platinum-colored brilliance.
Looking at the knife, Guinevere trembled all over.
There was no way she didn't recognize this knife.
There was no way she wouldn't recognize the knife.
That knife... That knife is...
"The divine sword of salvation!"
Guinevere cried out.
"Why……?!"
Hearing Guinevere's exclamation of disbelief, Aize suddenly smiled.
"Because this divine sword was my original goal."
Aize said this.
…………
That happened when the curse on the Monkey King Sun Wukong had just been broken and he was turning into stone to accumulate strength, waiting for the time to be born.
At that time, Aize, who had just left Xitian Palace and Nikko Mountain, did not return directly to the Shichio Shrine, but spread the White Dragon King's wings of light and flew towards Boso.
After arriving here, Aize did not land, but flapped the light wings behind him, turning into a meteor dragging a trail of light, and flew straight into the sky.
He broke through the clouds, broke through the sky, and even broke through the atmosphere, and came to a realm where he could ride on the universe.
This is the high altitude where the satellite orbits. If you look down, you can only see the center of the Neon Archipelago, which is as big as a map.
The environment here is harsh. The temperature varies from extremely cold to extremely hot depending on the sunlight. It is impossible for humans to survive here, and neither can other creatures.
In the past, it would have been impossible for Aize to come to such a place, but after possessing the Collapsing Jade and being endowed with the nature of immortality by it, he can quickly adapt and survive even in outer space.
"This should be it, right?"
Aize stopped in the satellite orbit and looked around.
Not long after, Aize saw a floating island.
Yes.
Above Boso, in the satellite orbit, there is a small island floating here.
The appearance of the island is very similar to the islands in the Pacific Ocean, with hills and plains, but there are no plants or life, only soil and rocks.
It just floated quietly in the satellite orbit, or more precisely, in the so-called geostationary orbit, and caught Aize's eye.
It is impossible for humans to know the existence of this island.
Even if we knew, we would just think it was floating object in satellite orbit.
Only a very small number of people know that this island was sent here by someone and is the place where something extraordinary is sleeping.
“Swish!”
Aize flapped the light wings behind him, flew towards the island at an astonishing speed, and landed on it.
The area of the island is not large, it can even be called narrow, but in the center of such a narrow place, there is an iron sword inserted.
The steel sword had a blade of about 100 centimeters in length, and its surface had long been rotten and broken, covered in rust.
However, when Aize saw this rusty iron sword, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
“Is this the sword of salvation?”
——「The Divine Sword of Salvation」.
This is the sword of the hero who annihilates the devil. It is also the strongest weapon, the strongest "steel" itself.
It has many names.
The Demon Annihilation Blade, the Iron Sword of the Last King, the Holy Sword of the Falling Star, the Platinum Blade, the Blade of the Death of the Living that cuts through all things in the world, the Doomsday Sword that can cut through the heavens, the earth, and the planets, the weapon that combines the weapons of many warriors into one, the symbol of the power of salvation, the last hope of glory, the solitary sword that hides the characteristics of various weapons, Caliburnus, Escalibor, Excalibur... and so on, these many names are all its aliases.
It is both the strongest weapon of the Last King and his half. Its main body is the ultimate weapon formed by the collection of various weapons that the Last King obtained from the gods in heaven when he conquered many demon kings in the past.
At the same time, it is also the true body of the Last King, and is the form of the divine sword that the Last King transforms into when he falls asleep.
"Those old guys took great pains to hide you."
Aize looked at the rusty iron sword, smiling and talking to himself as if he was having a conversation with it.
“Perhaps even they didn’t expect that? After all the precautions, the person who finally found this place turned out to be a newly born godslayer like me.”
Apart from the residents of the netherworld, no one should know the location of the divine sword of salvation.
But Aize is naturally an exception.
After all, he knew about the existence of this place and the location of this magic sword from the original book.
"Now, the disobedient Sun Wukong is about to be born, and the plans of those old guys are being exposed bit by bit."
"You can't hide your whereabouts for much longer, right?"
"But I was the first one to come here."
As he spoke, Aize stretched out his hand towards the rusty iron sword in front of him.
"Since I'm here, I will naturally take this divine sword."
"Of course, you won't be able to be born again."
"You, the strongest steel to defeat the demon king, will leave here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Aize grasped the rusty iron sword.
“Dongdong——”
Along with the appearance of gold-plated lines, Aize felt that the magic sword in his hand was beating, pulsating, and vibrating.
The gold-plated patterns originated from Aize's hand holding the hilt and continued to spread towards the divine sword.
"Dongdong-dong-dong-dong-dong-"
The pulsation and vibration coming from the magic sword became more and more frequent, as if it was awakening, but also as if it was resisting.
It’s a pity that all armed forces that come into contact with Aize will lose the ability to resist him.
Even the legendary half of the hero who defeated the devil and the divine sword used to save the world are no exception.
The gold-plated patterns gradually spread over the entire body of the magic sword and disappeared into it.
“Zheng——”
At this moment, the divine sword emitted a platinum-colored glow, and the rust on the blade also fell off, revealing the dazzling blade.
The platinum-colored light bloomed in this satellite orbit that no one could reach, shining above the floating island.
After one thousand five hundred years, this divine light of salvation appeared in this world again.
However, the one holding it is no longer the hero, but the demon king he is fighting.
